Songs about death...

[kesto4]

What are some of the best songs about death? Someone I went to high school passed away in a car accident last night and it's quite sad even though I wasn't close to her, she was very good friends with my girlfriend.

The only ones I can think of at the moment are
Hawthorne Heights - Five Become Four
Simple Plan - Meet You There, Untitled
Jimmy Eat World - Hear You Me
My Chemical Romance - The Ghost Of You, Famous Last Words

Obviously the list is goint to be emotional...

I'm so sorry about the person who passed away, may she rest in peace.

Lullabies by All Time Low was inspired by a death.

Swim by Jack's Mannequin can be like a hopeful 'don't give in' type of song for anyone who's sort of on the suicidal end.

What Sarah Said - Death Cab For Cutie

Was going to say that.

Pretty much ANY song on the Eels' album Electro Shock Blues is about death, and it's an amazing album. If you want to check it out try the songs Last Stop This Town and Dead of Winter. Extremely depressing stuff to me.

Pink Moon.

[Naenia]

Although it has actually been mentioned thrice now, I feel like saying

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Winter by Bayside yet.

To be fair to the song, it's good enough to deserve a fourth mention.

[Kbm600]

Jumper - Third Eye Blind.

What makes it even more awesome was that it was featured in yes man. Killer.

[nikaidoh]

I pray that someday God might all give you justice and you burn in hell for eternity.

[thesafeword]

And neither was/is their music, so I guess that we all lose.
You should be banned for saying that.
Why, because you don't agree with what I said or because you don't think that it's funny?
I laughed.

Hahahaha.

lmfao
At least there's some sense of humor here.
That's absolutely horrible.
Why? Just because he's dead doesn't mean I can't make fun of him for the terrible music he made when he was alive.
disrespectful. Unnecessary.
Thank you for being so mature, maybe I should try and be more like you.
Absolutely unnecessary and disrespectful.
Look who learned how to read and reword other people's posts.
not funny.
Maybe to you.
I pray that someday God might all give you justice and you burn in hell for eternity.
When you say something like that, how does that make you any better of a person than me?

The Armor For Sleep album What You Do When You Are Dead, although that's from the viewpoint of the deceased...

And if someone died, it'd probably be better to listen to cheerful music than music about death. If this happened to me, I'd want to get my mind off of it...

Get a fucking grip, how the hell are you going to deal with the real world if this fucks your week up?

Really? It is totally understandable to be upset when someone you go to school with dies.

I'm pretty much fine now, its just some people I'm close to are still very very upset about it. Has anyone ever mentioned you were a huge ass hole too?

Maybe someday one of your closest friends will die and then hopefully someone will say that exact same thing you said to me and we'll see how you take it.

[thesafeword]

Saying something like that pretty much makes you a worse person than him. You're wishing death upon someone while he's talking about it after the fact. How do you live with yourself?

[Kid B]

This thread fucking sucks.

singing dashboard with your friends won't make you better than anyone.

That being said... I want to be drunk.

im sure if it was that bad, you wouldnt wish it upon someone else. By saying that, your just as bad.
